I never had much of a problem with virtue signaling per se. Normal human behavior and people who seem upset by it seem to primarily be reacting aesthetically to the disconnect between stated values and visible incentives, suggesting hypocrisy visible and invisible. But now...
Hm, so if there’s a chain of different types of people claiming “the right answer was found at this time in history and we just have to be true to it”, I don’t see any reason why that chain can’t include people who ascribe that truth to a left-of-center position.

Political compass idea: weird/normal, left/right. On Twitter I see mostly fights between Weird Right and Normal Left, with occasional comments by Weird Left (that’s you) complaining about being left out. Normal Right seems rare.

Weird/Normal sounds fairly close to libertarian/authoritarian on the original compass? I think authoritarian is usually normal for a large faction. Libertarian is not always weird though.

Left-of-center positions seem not to be very Lindy in that position. If they endure they get redefined as right of center positions. Moving coordinate frame. Left loosely maps to “whatever is newest and most likely to serve as tool of subversion of tradition in some way”
